Who we are

The following organisations are coordinating information and support services to help all of those affected by the attack.

The hub is a service hosted by Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust, working in partnership with other NHS and voluntary sector agencies. Their staff are trained mental health professionals who are experts at helping people who have experienced a traumatic event.

The British Red Cross
The British Red Cross helps millions of people in the UK and around the world to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies, disasters and conflicts. Their volunteers and staff help people in crisis to live independently by providing support at home, mobility aids and transport. They also teach first aid skills, are part of the global Red Cross and Red Crescent humanitarian network and refuse to ignore people in crisis.
They have been providing ongoing practical, emotional and psychosocial support following the attacks.
